NP:

Consider Speak Now's "Mean." Not quite four minutes long, it's made of handclaps, amiable banjo strums, and multitracked Taylor Swifts. It's chipper and funny, because the narrator is predicting escape from someone she dislikes: "Some day, I'll be living in a big ol' city/And all you're ever gonna be is mean." And then, slipped in casually, a glimpse of the submerged shadow: "Some day, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me."

These lines are from the chorus, which is in the future tense. The abuse, thorough and quiet, is in the present, and the narrator's future is in doubt, and the word "mean" is a juvenile understatement—a trivial word, used because the narrator is imagining a future where the abuser will be trivial, too. Except, in a different vernacular, the word's huge and contemptuous, and means "impoverished": The guy in the song is mean of spirit, of soul, of manhood. In this sense, there's no judgment more total than "all you are is mean," which means that behind every cheerful repetition of the song's title is a second voice, wise and compassionate, whispering like a ghost. So regardless of whether the girl escapes, she's redeemed: She's been observed, and her tormentor judged. The song is overwhelming.

Voices perfectly what I've been trying to say about this incredible song.

Best lyric from each song on Speak Now.

Mine - You say we'll never make our parents' mistakes but we got bills to pay, we got nothing figured out
Sparks Fly - The way you move is like a full-on rainstorm and I'm a house of cards
Back to December - (impossible to dissect )
Speak Now - All eyes one me, horrified looks from everyone in the room but I'm only looking at you
Dear John - I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town
Mean - Somebody made you cold but the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
The Story of Us - (impossible to dissect - this is song-writing at its best)
Never Grow Up - You're in the car on the way to the movies and you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
Enchanted - My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
Better Than Revenge - Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go.
Innocent - It's okay life is a tough crowd 32 and still growing up now
Haunted - He will try to take away my pain and he just might make me smile but the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
Last Kiss - THE WHOLE BRIDGE
Long Live - This is absurd 'cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped-up jeans got to rule the world (Please tell 'em my name gives me chills)

And that's all the songs on Speak Now

Mine: You saw me start to believe for the first time
Sparks Fly: You're the kind of reckless that should send me running, but I kinda know that I won't get far
Back To December: It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Speak Now: There's the silence, there's my last chance, I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me
Dear John: I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town
Mean: You have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them
Story of Us: The battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down if you'd say you'd rather love than fight
Never Grow Up: I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
Enchanted: Your eyes whispered, "have we met?" (the whole song, actually)
Better than Revenge: She thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things
Innocent: Minds change like the weather, I hope you remember today is never too late to be brand new
Haunted: And he just might make me smile, but the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
Last Kiss: I'll feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
Last Kiss: I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day, and something reminds you you wish you had stayed
Long Live: You held your head like a hero on a history book page, it was the end of a decade, but the start of an age

Mine- I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’ wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
Sparks Fly- I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.
Back to December- And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
Speak Now- There's the silence, there's my last chance, I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me
Dear John- All the girls that you run dry have tired lifeless eyes cause you burned them out
Mean- You have pointed out my flaws again as if I don't already see them
The Story of Us- I've never heard silence quite this loud.
Never Grow Up- Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
Enchanted- My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
Better Than Revenge- She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress
Innocent- Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep before the monsters caught up to you?
Haunted- it's getting dark and it's all too quiet and I can't trust anything now
Last Kiss- All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss
Long Live- Long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
Ours- Don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine
If This Was a Movie- Last night I heard my own heart beating sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Superman- And I watch you fly around the world and I hope you don't save some other girl

Wednesday on ABC 9/8 Central TV performance Taylor on Macy's. So excited! She's been confirmed as a performer! I saw the commercial!

'Mine' - you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
'Sparks Fly' - drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain
'Back To December' - your guard is up and I know why: because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind
'Speak Now' - and the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a deathmarch
'Dear John' - I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town
'Mean' - all you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
'The Story Of Us' - but you held your pride like you should have held me
'Never Grow Up' - I just realised everything I have is someday gonna be gone
'Enchanted' - my thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
'Better Than Revenge' - no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
'Innocent' - wasn't it beautiful running wild 'til you fell asleep, before the monsters caught up to you?
'Haunted' - it's getting dark and it's all too quiet and I can't trust anything now
'Last Kiss' - I'll feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
'Long Live' - bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid

I don't think cause it said performances by Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, someone I never heard of, Kenny Chesney and someone else I never heard of
